In this episode of Spilling the Teath, Dr Ryan Hungate - Chief Clinical and Strategy Officer at Henry Schein One - joins as host to sit down with Dr Christine Silvers, Healthcare Executive Advisor at Amazon Web Services, for a deep dive into how AI is reshaping dentistry and medicine. This week’s conversation follows the recent announcement that Henry Schein One and AWS will partner to usher in a new era of AI-powered dentistry.

Christine shares her experience working with major health systems worldwide to deploy AI and cloud technologies that reduce clinician burnout, improve operational efficiency and elevate patient care. Together, they discuss what these innovations mean for dental practices today - and what’s coming next.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why burnout is rising across dentistry and medicine - and how AI can finally move the needle.
• How ambient listening and automated note-taking are eliminating “pyjama charting” and giving clinicians their evenings back.
• How AI-powered scheduling, eligibility and pricing transparency strengthen patient trust.
• The future of AI-driven recall campaigns - and how practices can recover thousands in incomplete treatment.
• Why diagnostics, imaging and referral workflows are about to get significantly smarter.
• How medical-dental integration is accelerating, and the role AI will play in breaking down long-standing silos.
• What the next 1-5 years look like for AI adoption, clinician experience and practice performance.

Whether you’re a practice owner, part of a clinical team, or curious about how AI is reshaping the patient and provider experience, this episode offers a grounded, forward-looking look at what’s coming - and why it matters.
